With that said Android Auto is fantastic.

- rootusrootus 6y agoIsn't that exactly what AA and CarPlay are? Proprietary signalling, which isn't ideal, but they're essentially just dumb terminals for the phone. Though there is some pass through of technology (e.g. the phone will utilize the vehicle GPS in some cases).
- bilal4hmed 6y agoI think in this case it will have Android Auto built in like the polestar.
- rootusrootus 6y agoI think in this case that is true. I sincerely hope they don't plan to do this in lieu of CarPlay/AA. I get that they want to have some kind of infotainment setup for people who don't have a smartphone to use for that, so this can serve that purpose.
